Hello all- My brother and I are attempting to play a LAN game together. We are having no problem connecting and starting the game, only 2 minutes into every game (this has happened 3 times now), the game will freeze for a few moments, then I will be presented with a military victory while his game remains frozen, although I have not even encountered him in the game yet! I searched around through the forums an have not found anyone with this issue, but if anyone has any sugge

What you have to do is force some other program so the game minimizes, then close whatever program you forced, then restore the game, and it should start. this happens to me alot. very strange. and if you cant force the Task manager, just wait a while for it. about a min should do.

so i have this idea about a new kind of defence turret: a turret that shoots incoming ships while they are in a phase jump. it could be say, a kinetic round fired into phase space that, if it hits the oncoming ship, would destroy it with the resulting kinetic energy of the ship and the round. i would say maybe a 5-7% chance of hitting a cap ship, 20% chance to hit a cruiser, and 25% chance of hitting a frigate. those percentages could be changed, i would say this weapon would

[quote]Stardock, if you were planning on releasing it so late, why didn't u just tell everyone late July, that way if u actually hit the goal everyone could be happy and surprised.This way, I'm waiting, impatiently, for the effing beta to come out![/quote] Or you could have told us late july, and released it early, making us even happier!!

ok i have a 3.0 ghz non dual core CPU :SNIFF!: 1gb of ram and a 7300 so maybe i wont play the super big maps and if you have ever played Nexus: TJI, the ship explosions were HUGE. Maybe you could do something like that for the titan explosions.

i have a question regarding the lagginess of this mod will it kill my computer looks really good tho cant wait

yeah, it fixed the AI tendency to run away and stuff mostly... EDIT- oops you wrote that while I was writing

You do know you could download all of this, right?

Yea, sorry. I wasn't trying to be rude, just pointing out that you had more people than we do, therefore making it easier to put together a game.

Yea, same with me, I thought it was funny.

Well, we dont have 40+ members so it is just a tad harder for us. Lucky you.

Brace for impending argument...

What are those green laser looking things connecting the fleets in the first and second pic?

You could have just said no... (No Offence)

So, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of or wants it. There is the link for the Gamspot Preview.

Do you know what the sequalwas called

Any of you heard of "Mutineers Moon", "The Armageddon Inheritence", and Heirs of Empire"? Recently combined into one book called "Empire from the Ashes"? It is THE BEST book I have ever read. Period. It is a couple of hundred pages, and will take a long time to read, but is worth every second you spend reading it. I had to stop myself from jumping up in triumph at the end of the battle for earth. Again, THE VERY BEST BOOK in my opinion.

Really good guide! Now I wait for someone to release the insanly long "FAQ" aka giant stratagy guide and walkthrough. But this was relly good

Magnetic clouds disable all abilities, and plasma storms disable fighter/bomber launch

[quote]Every single strategy I have seen so far(besides maybe Dunov groups) has an easy and feasable counter.This game is very very ballanced.[/quote] Dunov groups? Dunovs get shredded pretty fast in my experience. I think you can counter them pretty easily. Which makes it a perfectly balanced game. :CONGRAT:

[quote]http://www.sirlin.net/Features/feature_PlayToWinPart1.htmThe OP's whining sounded pretty familiar.[/quote] That is the best gaming article I have ever read. 100% true.

The pirates dont actually send all 200 ships at you, It depends on how much bounty there is on you, but they never send all of the ships.
